Are we going to start seeing spursy stuff plastered all over F1 circuits and broadcasts? Or is it just restricted to this karting track? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCDAN Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 I’ve just finished drive to survive and unless I missed it I can’t believe they didn’t feature that race at Red Bull where max refused to let Perez back through. For me that was one of the biggest talking points of the season! Overall it wasn’t the best DTS but then the season wasn’t brilliant either.

AVFCDAN Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 (edited) Lance stroll fighting for podiums might be the best thing about this season! Vettel must be fuming that he’s walked away from a genuinely fast car as well. Edited March 3, 2023 by AVFCDAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozzavfc Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Sainz slowest overall. I assume Ferrari were running at full fuel capacity for some additional testing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 I'm very excited for tomorrow. Can anyone compete with Red Bull? Will AM live up to the hype? Where are Mercedes at? Piastri vs Alpine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKP90 Posted March 3, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted March 3, 2023 Flipping Heck, Alonso P2? Those results are bats**t. Hoping Mclaren are quick this year. Would love Lando to be there or thereabouts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness though, I don't believe for a second that Merc are not going to be competitive this season. Maybe maybe 'a bit shit at the start' at most, by which they'll still be top 4. But they'll get there and probably very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merc don't really bother me, How good a season would it be with no Red Bulls? Lots of teams competing, ebb and flow. As things stand, this looks like a Red Bull procession. And I detest the Red Bulls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
